4482 GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, WA 2 December 2014 4482 GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, WA 2 December 2014 CO402* WILDLIFE CONSERVATION ACT 1950 WILDLIFE CONSERVATION (RARE FLORA) NOTICE 2014 Made by the Minister for the Environment under section 23F(2) of the Act. 1. Citation This notice may be cited as the Wildlife Conservation (Rare Flora) Notice 2014. 2. Interpretation In this notice— “extant” means known to be living in a wild state; “protected flora” means any flora belonging to the classes of flora declared by the Minister under section 6 of the Act to be protected flora by notice published in the Gazette 9 October 1987, at p. 3855; “taxon” includes any taxon that is described by a genus name and any other name or description. Note: The plural form of “taxon” is “taxa”. 3. Rare flora Subject to clause 4, protected flora— (a) specified in Schedule 1, being taxa that are extant and considered likely to become extinct or rare and therefore in need of special protection; and (b) specified in Schedule 2, being taxa that are presumed to be extinct in the wild and therefore in need of special protection, are declared to be rare flora for the purposes of section 23F of the Act throughout the State. 4. Application Clause 3 does not apply to those plants of a taxon of protected flora specified in Schedule 1 or 2 that have been planted for any purpose other than such plants that have been planted for the purpose of conservation of that taxon and in accordance with approval given by the Director General. 5. Revocation The Wildlife Conservation (Rare Flora) Notice 2013 is revoked. Schedule 1—Extant taxa [cl. 3(a)] Division 1—Spermatophyta (flowering plants, conifers and cycads) 1. Acacia anomala 28.

  • Acacia Wilsonii)
    INTERIM RECOVERY PLAN NO. 329 WILSON’S WATTLE (Acacia wilsonii) INTERIM RECOVERY PLAN 2012–2017 October 2012 Department of Environment and Conservation Kensington Interim Recovery Plan for Acacia wilsonii FOREWORD Interim Recovery Plans (IRPs) are developed within the framework laid down in Department of Conservation and Land Management (CALM) Policy Statements Nos. 44 and 50. Note: Note: the Department of CALM formally became the Department of Environment and Conservation (DEC) in July 2006. DEC will continue to adhere to these Policy Statements until they are revised and reissued. Plans outline the recovery actions that are required to urgently address those threatening processes most affecting the ongoing survival of threatened taxa or ecological communities, and begin the recovery process. DEC is committed to ensuring that Threatened taxa are conserved through the preparation and implementation of Recovery Plans (RPs) or IRPs, and by ensuring that conservation action commences as soon as possible and, in the case of Critically Endangered taxa, always within one year of endorsement of that rank by the Minister. This plan will operate from October 2012 to September 2017 but will remain in force until withdrawn or replaced. It is intended that, if the taxon is still ranked as Endangered, this plan will be reviewed after five years and the need for further recovery actions assessed. This plan was given regional approval on 24 September 2012 and was approved by the Director of Nature Conservation on 30 October 2012. The provision of funds identified in this plan is dependent on budgetary and other constraints affecting DEC, as well as the need to address other priorities.

  • 2013–142.05 Mb
    Department of Parks and Wildlife Science and Conservation Division annual research report 2013–14 DIRECTOR'S MESSAGE There has been much change since we became the Department of Parks and Wildlife in July 2013, with renewed focus on conservation of Western Australia's unique plants and animals and our world- class network of parks, reserves and natural areas. Our Strategic Directions for 2013-14 recognised that science and research play a critical role in effective management of species and ecosystems. In October 2013 the Science Division was amalgamated with the Nature Conservation Division providing new opportunities for science to more directly inform conservation policy and management, and for management requirements and knowledge gaps to set research priorities. While much of our work supports the conservation priorities of the Wildlife corporate goal, we also provide scientific research and information to support delivery of the Parks, Fire, Managed Use and People corporate goals. The combined responsibilities of the divisions are focused around two main areas of Species conservation and Landscape conservation. Our work in species conservation involves activities, such as species and community recovery, wildlife protection and licensing, understanding species biology and taxonomy, while our landscape conservation work is focused on landscape and seascape management, development advice and liaison, understanding ecosystem processes and biological survey. Information systems and monitoring and evaluation link across both species and landscape conservation activities. Across all areas, effective exchange of knowledge and information to support legislation and policy is fundamental to effective delivery of wildlife management outcomes. Partnerships have always been an important means of achieving our outcomes.

  • Post-Fire Recovery of Woody Plants in the New England Tableland Bioregion
    Post-fire recovery of woody plants in the New England Tableland Bioregion Peter J. ClarkeA, Kirsten J. E. Knox, Monica L. Campbell and Lachlan M. Copeland Botany, School of Environmental and Rural Sciences, University of New England, Armidale, NSW 2351, AUSTRALIA. ACorresponding author; email: [email protected] Abstract: The resprouting response of plant species to fire is a key life history trait that has profound effects on post-fire population dynamics and community composition. This study documents the post-fire response (resprouting and maturation times) of woody species in six contrasting formations in the New England Tableland Bioregion of eastern Australia. Rainforest had the highest proportion of resprouting woody taxa and rocky outcrops had the lowest. Surprisingly, no significant difference in the median maturation length was found among habitats, but the communities varied in the range of maturation times. Within these communities, seedlings of species killed by fire, mature faster than seedlings of species that resprout. The slowest maturing species were those that have canopy held seed banks and were killed by fire, and these were used as indicator species to examine fire immaturity risk. Finally, we examine whether current fire management immaturity thresholds appear to be appropriate for these communities and find they need to be amended. Cunninghamia (2009) 11(2): 221–239 Introduction Maturation times of new recruits for those plants killed by fire is also a critical biological variable in the context of fire Fire is a pervasive ecological factor that influences the regimes because this time sets the lower limit for fire intervals evolution, distribution and abundance of woody plants that can cause local population decline or extirpation (Keith (Whelan 1995; Bond & van Wilgen 1996; Bradstock et al.

  • Annual Program Updates 2019
    Biodiversity and Conservation Science Annual Program Updates 2019 December 2019 Animal Science Program Key achievements for 2019 Species restorations, relocations and monitoring Undertook translocations of Shark Bay bandicoots and dibblers to Dirk Hartog Island. Monitoring suggests these species, and other small extant vertebrates on the island, are persisting well. A survey of water rats on Barrow Island has commenced preceding a planned translocation to the Montebello Islands. Ongoing monitoring of selected mammals and birds translocated from Barrow Island to the Montebello Islands indicates successful establishment, with populations broadly distributed across each island. Boodies, mala and golden bandicoots translocated from Barrow Island to a fenced enclosure at Matuwa (formerly Lorna Glen) continue to do well, although extremely dry conditions were coincident with a drop in boodie numbers. Bilbies, brushtail possums and golden bandicoots released outside the enclosure have persisted supported by ongoing introduced predator control. Survivorship of eastern grey kangaroos relocated from an urban area to state forest near Jarrahdale commenced in May 2019. Post-relocation monitoring over the subsequent 12-months is underway. Cat eradication Refinement of feral cat control techniques regarding bait palatability, deployment, minimising non-target impacts and trapping continues. Research in southern jarrah forest has revealed low bait uptake by cats. Broadscale feral cat baiting in the Pilbara has resulted in quolls persisting in the presence of aerial baiting using Eradicat®, with their range expanding compared to a non-baited area. Research into the non-target impacts of Eradicat® suggest minimal impacts in the Dryandra Woodland, with red-tailed phascogales persisting after its application. This has implications for integrated fox and feral cat control programs at Dryandra and elsewhere in the south-west of Western Australia.

FORWARD This Fitzgerald Biosphere Recovery Plan constitutes the formal national regional recovery plan for 11 flora species and provides recovery guidance for the remaining species and ecological communities largely endemic to the Fitzgerald Biosphere on the south coast of Western Australia that are listed under the Commonwealth Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act). The Fitzgerald River National Park (FRNP) was designated a Biosphere Reserve under the UNESCO Man and the Biosphere (MAB) Programme in 1978, and is recognised for its relatively pristine state and high biological diversity, especially its flora. For the purpose of this plan, the term ‘Fitzgerald Biosphere’ or ‘Biosphere’ refers to the combination of the core Biosphere area as recognised by MAB and the buffer and transition zones as defined by catchment boundaries as shown in figure 1.
